New York Giants’ wide receiver Victor Cruz had some simple advice for fellow wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Cruz had this to say on Sirius XM Radio regarding Beckham and some things he has said to the media and recently published on Twitter (h/t NY Daily News).
I just told him to make sure he watches his words and make sure he’s mindful of the things that he says. Because anything that he says can become a headline. He just has to be very very careful of that, even when he means well or says the right things.
Here’s a collection of random tweets Beckham threw out just a couple of days ago. We’re not sure what got Beckham so fired up, but something must have triggered the thread.

Other than this, OBJ has remained under the radar since his star rookie season. However, he did recently report that he played most of the year with torn muscles in his hamstring, something that general manager Jerry Reese quickly shot down.
Cruz has first-hand experience in dealing with the negative backlash on social media. He has suffered criticism for his salsa touchdown dance honoring his late grandmother and he took a real beating when he stayed quiet during his contract negotiations.
While Beckham has the right to say pretty much whatever he wants, he might want to keep in mind Cruz’ words of wisdom when it comes to certain subjects.
